  • blow massive hole in the hill and then have the treasure

  • try using magic eye

  • I know number 3! It's ME.

  • candr: It's a close squeaker. I just googled the TJ Bible and I guess you are correct. I do believe the Porter Code was used. Have you ever seen the original format of the code? It is not symmetrical. It could designate a territory on a map or a section of an established state. I'm still fascinated in how all those HQ's appeared. That was tantalizing. I'm led to believe that Beale may have used Shakespeare as a base. Either Macbeth or Hamlet. I had to walk away from my endeavors. Mind boggling!

  • I tried cracking the code in the early 80's using the Porter Code: ie A=1, Z=26, A=27 and so forth on til the highest number. I found a number of references to Hamlet, Macbeth and the Sermon on the Mount. Really intriguing was at least 3 places in the oddly shaped code where the intersecting horizontal and vertical HQ. appears. That means headquarters and it was too much of a coincidence for it to happen numerous times. I believe the original Thomas Jefferson Bible is the key. Yes, it exists.

  • @pmoyer50 but how would he get a hold of the Bible to make the code. Yes I tried the code in the 60's through the 70's. Even used the letter of T.J. written before 1819, God, do you know how much he wrote back then!!!! Actually I started thinking about the Lodge that he belonged to and the writings he would be exposed to at the time.

  • no need the code...

    just copy paste the crack XD

  • if only Sherlock homes was real He would crack it in about an hour

  • @mrtinoban5 Well actually S.H was based on a real man by the name of Dr. Joseph Bell.

  • i once found a code never cracked it though, anyone want it????

  • all they need is a sonar scanner and scan the underground of the surrounding area. X-ray will do well too.

  • id love to have that code,id give it a bash!

  • This sounds intriguing. Who ever has those codes most likely have already one of the codes cracked, that lead to the treasure location. It already been 155 years that past by, the unknown owner of the code must have past away, and now the cracked code sheets that he have made is somewhere hidden, or probably not ! What ever the outcome may be I feel like hunting buried treasure right about now. :D

  • @MultiReviewer The codes are well known and folk have had acces to them for the 150+ years, including me. I believe even the computer center at University of Virginia took a stab at it a few years back.

  • what's up with the tags for this video? hahahaha

    Tags:

    hard time the ropes People & Places: People prison  jail penitentiary english

  • I bet the code is in a real common, but important text to it's creator, like from a chapter in the bible, or some other important document

  • Knowing Hollywood they will probably use this story for their next National treasure movie, if there is a next one.

  • ooooo they should!

    Would be hilarious if they mistakenly crack it for real

  • I can see it now, lol, National Treasure: Code of Secrets

  • no at the end of the last one they mention something about area 51. something stupid like that.

    but that would be cool if they did and it would be even cooler if they accidentally cracked the code while filming it

  • um, if ppl are serious, why don't we use a computer to crack the code? If the 1st and 3rd cyphers are based around the same principle as the 2st, that is to say, off a book, then all books of that period(pre 1820s) is now in the public domain so you can get them on the net. then you just get the computer to start cranking. In a reasonable amount of time (1 year?) the code should be broke - no?

  • thats what im thinking too, should be really fast with a computer

  • Go ahead, make yourself rich!

  • 2st? isn't it 2nd? lol

  • why dont they just use a metal detector O.o

  • ez solution. someone go call nicolas cage

  • lollllll

  • the next clue can be found in a cereal box only the original brand tho(buy now while supplies last)(its a joke dont reply)

  • it was the originals blueprint of the dildo

  • argh i buried that treasure back in the day! 200 years ago arghhh!

  • its like national treasure its very trick and what did they call it? cyfers? plz correct my speling its like you can only found that in movies the treasure is been hide by a very smart person

  • wut r u talkn about

  • the worlds biggest hoax !!!!!!!

  • You stand a better chance to play the lottery,lol

  • where can i find these codes online? i propose we round up an ocean evelen-esque crew to crack the code and steal the treasure

  • I found this treasure about a two years ago and I blew it all on women and drugs.....

  • ^^ haha

  • Maybe it involves the secret lives of mice and how they co-operated with us humans thousands of years ago

  • i'm gonna find it!

  • wonder if they have they oak island treasure mystery

  • I would like to think they buried a box full of horse crap.

  • I FOUND IT!!! MUAHAHHAA!!!!

  • I burried it ... 150 years ago , now im old and poor and i cant afford a ticket to take a plane there and get it back ... Its burried next to a tree it tell ya !

  • I solved it. none of you fuckers are gettin shit.

  • nigguh prbly put it up his mommas ass

  • Why doesn't someone just get a metal detector or just dig up the whole 4 mile area?

  • That's actually a great idea. I like seeing comments that aren't retarded or outright lies.

  • exactly wat i thought, this whole mystery reminds me of national treasure

  • yes its like national treasures^^ your exacly saying whats on my mind

  • yep,  but look at this vids tags, it has NOTHING to do with the vid, and tried 2 look for more stuff on this but i couldnt find anthing,,,

  • they're lazy o_o

    well, this treasure is long gone. Trust me, there are lots of people who tried to find it .. but its long found. well, good luck with the metal detector i hope you find "Metal Horse Crap"

  • I found them.. -_- and its mine now..

  • were can i download this documentary..pls help me..tnx

  • the guys that helped him came back a couple of hours latter and dug it and ran with it!!!

  • lol i think i got it

    but i dont know :P

  • ohh.. so THATS what i found in my backyard.

  • lol have fun with ur new money!

  • Haha!!!

  • how did he hide it and then piss off dumb shit

  • I'm getting excited about this thing!Hidden watnots gets me all excited...it has a mysterious appeal..!

  • Got to find that shit

  • I'll tell you what happened....The unnamed author cracked that code 150 years ago and dug that up in the night. So your telling me he used every book he could get his hands on and he only broke the code on how much gold was buried... but not the code on where it was buried and who it belonged too? HA HA! Hell, i wouldn't tell either. Another reason why no one knew his name.

  • man this is crazy

  • There is no treasure, I dug it up years ago.

  • yeah its true i was there with him

  • he was there with me

  • that is because I got there before you >=/

  • Full Episodes please, if you cant post them on here, lets see some on Hulu!

  • Easy enough. Its a Mason text which themselves are in code.. So only another Mason would be able to locate the treasure. The third text describing the owners, would be the bible.. Why? because that is where fairness and honesty is to be found.

  • WTF, is there a show on this on the NG Channel? If so WHEN!!!!???

  • im sure a metal detector would be able to find something.

  • LOL girl you crazy!

  • Buried injun`s?.

  • I'd be comparing the codes to the Constitution next.

  • i don't get it, if they didn't want it found, why would they make a code to find it? Clearly they want it found.

  • How much do you want to bet they just buried a load of horse crap and lied in the notes?

  • Hahaha!! I bet youre right! Who says the founding fathers didnt have a sense of humor?

  • so this video makes "national treasure" movie like a true story, awesome, 5 stars!

  • There were not that many books around that would have been available and sure to be available later

    We should first look at other documents that would be remembered by an assortment of people, especially the ones to whom the treasure belonged.

  • Start combing with a metal detector.

  • Wow exciting

  • what a waste

  • this is preeety coooool

  • The remaining two books are: The Da Vinci Code and the First Edition of Playboy.

  • LOL!

  • LOL ALWAYS those codes have something to do with the independant declaration

  • maybe the other codes use the declaration

  • it has to be impossible to crack a code! the code could be based on ANYTHING. where would you even start...?/

  • This is interesting.

  • Interesting

  • you're funny...

  • NO am not Funny ... i don't know him even

  • i know

  • and why you ask me ?

  • ask? i didn't.

  • are u sure

  • good!
